Here Are All The Known Valyrian Steel Swords Left In Westeros

It was an emotional moment when Jaime Lannister bequeathed his Valyrian steel sword, Oathkeeper, to Brienne of Tarth. Quite aside from the Jaime/Brienne ‘shipping, Valyrian steel is pretty damn rare in Westeros in the time in which the show is set. Like so many things, there are a few differences between which Valyrian steel swords remain in the books as opposed to in the show, so I’ll be sticking to the show for this article to keep things simple.

Lost Valyrian Steel Swords Mentioned in the Show

5 & 6. Blackfyre & Dark Sister

The ancient swords of House Targaryen. Lost in the Blackfyre rebellion.

7. Brightroar

House Lannister’s valued family heirloom, lost on an expedition to Valyria hundreds of years before the action in the Game of Thrones show. The loss of the Lannister’s Valyrian steel was what prompted Tywin Lannister to melt down Ice to create great Lannister swords anew (and obviously, it was a great poke in the eye to the Starks, too!).

Petyr/Tyrion’s Valyrian steel dagger

Bonus: The dagger used in the assassination attempt against Bran Stark had a Valyrian steel blade and dragonbone handle. It belonged to Petyr Baelish, who says he handed it over to Tyrion Lannister when he lost a bet.
